BLOCK

The    foundations    are    sunk    deep.

They   cling   to   archaeology  beneath.

Consent    for   fresh   thinking   denied.

Application    for    the    new,   nullified. 

Only      the      antiquated     protected,

the   status quo  preserved.   The  solid

unmoving   structure   remains  despite

its  lack  of   merit.   It  blocks  the  light.

Refuses to  make  way  for  tomorrow's 

skylines.  Until  this  imagination-deficit 

             brings us all to ruin.
